We use iOS and Android guides in our file upload Assignments, and it appears that there are now broken. Any chance that there will be able to be a fix for this (redirect?) so that the old iOS and Android links work? For example, this link still works:…
I requested a change in the "view all pages" area for students. I want to be able to have folders so that, similar to modules, we could group pages together, by unit or theme. This way, if students need to look ahead, they wouldn't be confused by older pages that are being saved for a specific reason. I first asked for…
Release Timing: Generally Available (GA) on February 21, 2026 as a Feature Option and enabled-by-default. Can be disabled by account admin. Regional Availability: Globally Supported Customer Type: All Customers Available with: Canvas Key Takeaway: The Course Accessibility Checker is a course-level tool that enables…
I am setting up a question where there are three hotspots on an image, and the learner is required to click somewhere in each of them to be marked as correct. The marker is allocating full points if all marks are placed inside ANY of the hotspots - so, if a learner clicks three times in exactly the same location, they…
Hi everyone, Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time working inside Canvas - designing assessments, revising them, re-using them across courses, and trying to keep everything coherent as programs evolve. One thing became increasingly clear: the challenge isn’t writing good questions. It’s managing them. Between…
Hi Canvas admins, For your faculty/staff users who are also students in your instance, do they have multiple logins/user IDs on each account? Or do they have two separate accounts (one as faculty/staff with one login, one as student with a different login)? I ask as we're moving to Banner SaaS soon, and all our student ID…
In a previous entry to this series, we introduced you to the Canvas Course Spotlight program, which offers Cornell students the chance to highlight and recognize design elements of Canvas courses that have positively impacted their learning experience. We also discussed the general patterns among the recognitions we…
I've noticed that whenever I copy a course from a previous semester and adjust the assignment dates to match the current term, all assignments for the new student roster automatically receive a grade of zero. I then have to manually delete these zeroes, which is tedious and time-consuming. To prevent this, I’ve tried…
I am relatively new to Canvas Admin. Wondering what the best way to add Parent Observers to our classes would be? We roster Aeries to Canvas through OneRoster, does not look like it is an option to include Parent information as part of that API. Would be have to allow Open Registration for Observers, have teachers invite…
Sorry for the MS paint editing but I'm busy working my way through all my course content to remove the font-family from everything, because we have the dyslexics. I had set "Consolas, mono-space, sans-serif" to suit the vibe of my subject matter, but accessibility overrides… just not automatically via account settings.
